Absent

I've been absent for a few days weeks. But much has been accomplished in that time.
The garage sale at Mom's house is behind us. Just a few things yet to do down there & then I won't have to be feeling like I need to be stopping in there. And we signed papers on an offer for the house. Unbelievable since it's only been on the market for about 7 weeks.
I've also been working on layouts for Dawn & Barbara. Dawn is putting her's  in the Faithfully Yours newsletter next Friday, so I'll wait until after that to post here. I've posted Barbara's in the new ScrapTakeout website where Barbara is one of their designers. They are having their grand opening this weekend - was at a chat last night & got to know some of the people involved. I have seen some familiar faces in my lurking around the site. And I met a fellow Hoosier last night.
Here's the LO I did this morning for Father's Day using Barbara's (Precepts & Promises) American Story kit & a couple of her masks - Messy Masks Vol. 1 & Messy Masks - Dad (I think that's Vol. 5):


I kind of cheated & basically used the same LO for Dawn's but changed the papers using her Father's Day kit. I'll post it here after she releases next Friday's newsletter. Her kit is awesome too, they have very different styles & I like that - it gives me more variety.

Add all of this to Memorial Day weekend, visiting Mom in the Nursing Home and Dave hurting his back & my time has been totally taken up. I did squeeze in a speed scrap this week at Scrap Girls using photos from our Memorial Day celebrations:


And I managed one for the grand opening at Scrap Takeout for Barbara using the same American Story kit and one of her templates:


I couldn't believe the change in Jon here!

Well, I need to get some work done around the house & go visit Mom later on.
